Developer "gj" and others behind the iPhone Development Project (http://iphone.fiveforty.net/wiki) claim to have released a "proof of concept activation program for the iPhone" that makes it possible to activate the device without an AT&T account, or re-activate after an AT&T account has been terminated.
Project participants explain that their work is intended to discover "additional uses for the iPhone by (legitimately) enabling its potential capabilities," and that the project is "for informational purposes only." Snip from the "goals and milestones" page:
The current goals of the iPhone Development Project are as follows: * Break DMG Password *COMPLETE* * Break Activation *COMPLETE* * Unlock Phone * Run Third Party Applications * Allow DUN/Tethering * Remove IMEI Transmitting * Enable Disk Mode(...)Also, as we enable certain features of iPhone, other features previously thought impossible may become reality.
